the erass.', "Ihaye brought you,
here, white man, he said that you
might take a message back to yourH
people. We are about to break up
our encampment here, where for
many long years we have dwelt.-
One hundred years ago by your an
cestors / was Murdered on the site
of yonder little village and my
Young brave Ellinipsico was put to
death with me. We were not afraid
for We had faced death in many a
battle with the pale face. But for
the shame of being murdered in
cold blood while defenceless cap
tain, 1 prayed to the great spirit to
give me some means of vengeance.
And the great spirit whispered to
me that l should curse the place
and make it failure as a point of
settlement and to be stunned by all
settlers for one hundred years,
and l did curse it with my last dy-
ing breath. Ever since my war
riors and myself have looked on at
the fruitIess efforts of the white
people to build up town here
We have watched enterprise after
enterprise struggle and die in the
helpless captivity of misfortune as
we died in the helpless captivity
of the white man. So complete
was my curse executed that 1 had
hopes of seeing the place go back
to forest and wild flowers as once it
was, so that We might posses it
again, though but spirits of the
great spirit. But my course is out,
alreading 1 see It's power is spent
and cannot berenewed. The great
spirit has told me to go, to go to
the great Happy Hunting Grounds
where all my race are gathering
He has told me that the thought
of possessing this land again even
as the spirits of braves, Is hopeless.
He has told nue. that like all things
we have had our day and must
pass away. Not only must our
race go from this beautiful rivers
banks, but the handful of living
Braves that yet hunt in the great
West, they must utterly pass away.
as a people that have had their
day. And the great spirit has
pointed out to me how the deer and
the buffalo, noble animals that they
were, and revelling in their fertile
valleys as they did. gave place and
disappeared before our brave hunt
er<, and now In the fulfllment of
His great law, we are passing away
hefore the white men. But the
Great Spirit has said to me too, that
even so after awhile when he has
run his course, so shall the white
man pass away and give place in
the great succession of life to great
er beings than himself. We go to
our everlasting Happy Hunting
Grounds; return with my message
tn your people:
"All was gone," said the old man
and I found myself setting alone
on the highest point of this hill.
As the old man finished his story he
turned and left me as silently and
as quickly as his Indian spirits
had left him, and L walked back
TO the town wondering at the old
mans story.

The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the gravest maladies of the throat
and lungs, is consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as a household remedy, bottle of
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing eke gives such immediate relief
and works so sure cure in all affections
of this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. +. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says:-
"Medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant SO good as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL. II is invaluable for diseases of the
throat and lungs" ~ -
The same opinion is expressed by the
well-Lnown DR.. l.. j. Addison, of Chicago,
ILL.,, who says:-
'I have never found, in thirty.fve years Of
continuous study and practice Of medicine, any
preparation of so great value as AYERS CHERRY
PECToRAL, for treatment of diseases of the
throat and lungs. 1t not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections"

are now in sight of each ether and will
probably be able to meet to-day and
unite the roadbed from Los Angeles to

completing the track are on the ground
and cargo of ties arriving to-day will
enable the Los Angeles and San Gabriel
Valley railway to carry its track through
Azusa to San Dimas. Mr.. Davis, the
constructing engineer, is pushing the
work with might and main and that is
all that need to be said of this accomp
lished and enthusiastic engineer.
A contract has been let by the Atchi
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Company to
Mr.. Burlingame to grade its track from
the present terminus of the Los Angeles
and San Gabriel Valley railway at Mis-
sion street, along the west bank of the
Los Angeles river to First street.

AYERS
Cherry PectoraI

Is not a new claimant for popular conf
dence, but q medicine which is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There Is not q household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not a person
who has ever given it proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible Of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PECTORAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Laryngitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
Of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is a
medicine that only requires to be taken in
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing SO good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody, and should be re-
membered by everybody.
